Stop drinking what the Democrats force you to drink. Drink Tequila
Crazy but if it get's Latinos away from the Democratic Party, and their
plantation, I like it.

:
*Latino leaders in Nevada and nationwide are quietly debating whether to
sever their traditional Democratic ties and form an independent grass-roots
political group.*
The idea, born of frustration over the party’s inaction on immigration
reform and fears that as a voting bloc they’re a political afterthought,
Latino leaders have discussed the idea among themselves locally and in
conference calls with colleagues across the country.
The unlikely model for the movement they would like to launch is the Tea
Party — not in substance, of course, but in its grass-roots organizational
style. *Acknowledging the source of their inspiration, Latino leaders have
dubbed the proposed movement the “Tequila Party.”*
These Hispanic leaders have noticed that while the Tea Party has had spotty
electoral success, it has called attention to its concerns and values and
put the establishment on notice.
“I don’t know if it’s going to happen, but there’s talk,” said Fernando
Romero, president of the nonpartisan Hispanics in Politics, Nevada’s oldest
Hispanic political group. “There’s discussion about empowerment of the
Latino vote.”
Hispanics have proved to be a powerful political force in Nevada and
nationally. They were instrumental in electing President Barack Obama and
are credited with saving Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s
re-election<http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/nov/07/how-reids-pollster-got-it-right/>this
month. In Nevada, Latinos accounted for 15 percent of voters in 2008
and a record 16 percent in this month’s midterm elections.
